RICHMOND HILL, ON, March 2, 2016 /CNW/ – Mazda Canada Inc. (MCI) currently expelled Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) estimated fuel economy total for a all-new 2016 Mazda CX-9 midsize, three-row crossover SUV. Certified during 10.5 city/8.3 highway/9.5 total L/100 km, when versed with front-wheel drive, a 2016 CX-9 is among a most-efficient vehicles of a size—and achieves those numbers though carrying to use an extra-cost hybrid or diesel powertrain.

It uses a dual-valve Dynamic Pressure Turbo to fast beget energy and a cooled empty gas recirculation complement (EGR) to reduce engine temperatures though carrying to supplement additional fuel as many turbocharged engines do. Uncommon in turbocharged, gasoline-powered engines, a cooled EGR doesn’t impact NRCan’s fuel-economy exam numbers, though it does assistance grasp softened real-world potency contra turbocharged engines though cooled EGRs.

CX-9’s engine creates a robust 310 lb-ft of torque from only 2,000 rpm and 227 horsepower during 5,000 rpm regulating 87-octane gasoline (250 horsepower with 93-octane).
